Pensamento:
Como anseiamos que isso seja a nossa verdadeira confissão. Não somos ouro ainda, mas queremos ser. Não estamos seguindo os passos dEle totalmente ainda, mas estamos tentando. Temos tentado não desviar, mas às vezes falhamos. Agradeça a Deus por sua graça até que nossas intenções e desejos estejam realizados no nosso discipulado!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
How we long for Job's words in this verse to be our true confession. We are not yet gold, but long to be. We are not yet fully following the Lords steps, but are trying to follow faithfully. We have tried not to turn aside from God's ways, but we sometimes falter. Thank God for his grace until our intentions and desires are fulfilled in our genuine discipleship. Until that day, we pursue Jesus as we seek to reflect his character and compassion, trusting in the Holy Spirit to do the work of transformation* so that the following may be true of us as it was in Jesus:
He knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.
* 2 Corinthians 3:18.
Oração:
Magnífico Criador e Sustentador do Universo, confesso meu pecado e minha inadequacidade em seguir seu caminho. Abençoe-me no meu compromisso de servi-Lo em santidade e alegria. Obrigado por sua graça que cobre meus pecados, e aperfeiçoe-me no caráter de Jesus. Através dEle eu oro. Amém.
My Prayer...
Magnificent Creator and Sustainer of the Universe, I confess my sin and my inadequacies in following your paths completely. Forgive me as I commit my life to serve you in holiness and joy. Thank you for your grace, which covers my sin and perfects in me the character of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. In the name of my Savior, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
